Security is tight at Windsor Castle so one goes through an airport style check on the way in. My Swiss Army Knife was placed in a bag tagged with the number 255 and this was written on my ticket so that I could reclaim it when I came out … however, I forgot to do so!
Strolling along about half an hour before the coach left I suddenly realised … I ran, then walked when I got puffed out, back to the entrance to the castle. It was shut but people were still coming out of the exit; happily I was able to get my knife from the staff who had transferred it from the way in to the way out :)

While security of the nuclear facilities and materials the NRC regulates has always been a priority, the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, brought heightened scrutiny and spurred more stringent security requirements. Today, NRC-regulated nuclear facilities are among the most secure of the nation’s critical infrastructure. In fact, one member of Congress rated nuclear plant security the strongest among the nation’s civilian infrastructure.
This heightened security is achieved in layers, with multiple approaches concurrently at work – just as safety in nuclear power plants is accomplished through duplicate back-up systems. To begin with, nuclear power plants are inherently secure, robust structures, built to withstand hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. Additional security measures are in place: well trained and armed security officers; equipment and structures, including physical barriers, intrusion detection and surveillance systems; and access controls. Another layer of protection is in place for coordinating threat information and response. The NRC works closely with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, intelligence agencies, the departments of Defense and Energy, states, and local law enforcement. These relationships ensure the NRC can act quickly on any threats that might affect its licensed facilities and allows effective emergency response from “outside the fence” should a serious terrorist attack occur.
For several years following 9/11, the NRC required many security enhancements at its licensed power reactors, decommissioning reactors, independent spent fuel storage installations, research and test reactors, uranium conversion facilities, gaseous diffusion plants, fuel fabrication facilities, large irradiators, manufacturers and distributors, transportation, and licensees with greater than IAEA category 2 material. The NRC directed nuclear power plants and fuel fabrication facilities to upgrade their physical security plans, security officer training and qualification plans, and contingency plans. These facilities now have, among other heightened measures:
• More patrols
• Stronger and more capable security forces
• Additional physical barriers
• Greater stand-off distances for vehicle checks
• More restrictive site access controls
• Enhanced emergency preparedness and response plans
One of the most important components of security programs at nuclear power facilities is the security force. Over the past five years, the NRC has required power plants to add more training and higher qualification standards for security personnel, while substantially increasing the number of officers on the force. Plant security officers, for example, must now be trained under more realistic conditions and against moving targets. In order to minimize security personnel fatigue and ensure a vigilant and effective security force, the NRC has instituted additional fitness-for-duty requirements and work hours controls.
In accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the NRC has also strengthened requirements for fingerprinting and background checks for various types of licensees and certificate holders. On Jan. 4, 2006, the NRC entered into an agreement with the federal government’s Terrorist Screening Center to review records of individuals with unescorted access to nuclear power reactor facilities. This collaborative effort automated and streamlined the collection and dissemination of information used to determine the trustworthiness of individuals who have unescorted access to certain vital areas of nuclear power plants. It also enhances the process of identifying anyone with access to these areas who may pose a threat to national security.

My new apartment has a team of security guards who, still, as I remember from before, have a pretty mellow workload. Here's the one guarding my group of buildings this afternoon - utterly and peacefully asleep. I'm soon going to be asleep too. I spent part of the day getting the place ready for an intense day of cleaning tomorrow. I've hired some help.

The lure of the Smart Grid appears irresistible. If Smart Grids can realize their full potential then consumers, utilities, nations, and even the earth itself will benefit. Unfortunately, as with nearly any new technology, the focus has been on getting Smart Grids up and running, often with little consideration for Cyber Security.
Peter Vanier’s team of researchers from the Nonproliferation and National Security Department want to know the origin of the neutrons they encounter since they occur infrequently in the natural environment.
Today, Tuesday 8 October, saw the Security 2019 conference take place in St Anne’s Church in Manchester.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of the Bill Lowe Memorial Award to the Manchester City Centre Business Watch Co-ordinator of the year.
The award, named in honour of a long serving crime reduction officer in the city, has been presented annually since 2000.
This year’s winner is David Perkin, Chair of Manchester Pub and Club Network.
Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson of Greater Manchester Police presented the award.
To contact Greater Manchester Police for a less urgent matter or make a report online you can also visit www.gmp.police.uk.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give evidence.
Thorpe Marsh Power Station was a 1 Gigawatt (GW) (1000 MW) coal-fired power station near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England.
The station was commissioned in 1959 and was built as a prototype for all the large modern power stations in the UK. It opened in 1963. It contained 2 generating sets powered by coal, and had a gas turbine set using an industrial static version of a Rolls-Royce Avon aero engine with a capacity of 14.9 MW. On 7 January 1973 four workmen died. The CEGB was put under investigation for breaches in safety provisions but they were found to have all died accidental deaths.
The station has been closed since 1994 and the 45 acres (18 ha) site was acquired by Able UK in 1995. Much of the station has been demolished and now only its six cooling towers (each 340 ft (100 m) high and 260 ft (79 m) in diameter at the base), two ash slurry hoppers, railway sidings and the station's large adjacent electricity switching station still remain. The switching station was nearly flooded during the 2007 Yorkshire flood, which would have knocked the grid out according to news reports. The structures still stand now because it is feared that any explosion would cause the banks of the nearby canal to rupture. They also contain asbestos, which would contaminate land for miles around the site. There have been several controversial proposals for the site, including a car distribution depot and more recently a huge landfill site, neither of which have proven popular with the local residents.
This is part of the entrance to the power station,or the security office.

This beautiful manor house, built in 1896 is in a very perilous state today. Used as a residential school for pupils to escape the heavy industry of nearby towns and cities, Pirniehall was used as a residential education facility up until 1993 until it closed.
Apparently someone who owned it paid for kids from Dumbarton to come and break every window to allow the building to be open to the elements. Today it has been wrecked, metal stolen, and the middle of the house has collapsed.
Apparently there are 11 cats that live here, and some bats. I didn't see any cats, but did see a bat.
Another winter and I think more of this beautiful house will collapse, which will be ever so sad.:(
